    Default 15 Years Ago I Made This

    Made this Perfume Dispenser fifteen years ago for my wife,have had a love affair with Huon Pine Burl that continues today,with my wife for over 55 yrs. The O ring seal is perished near the cap but the timber endures.Used to make all my pens straight and skinny then.Will publish newest Huon in the next few days.

    Take care. Peter

    Hi Peter! That's pretty, nice to see that it has held up for all these years. My wife just put in a new request for a box elder pen. I hope hers will stand the test of time!

    I'm still scared to try using any of your wood. It's all too pretty to cut!

    Besides, I'm still breaking my noggin on this brindle thing. bleh

    G'day Peter,
    I don't have anything that I have turned that goes back more than 3 or 4 years. I look back at my first pieces and giggle because I was so proud of them at the time, but they just don't hold up to what I do now. I figure I will say that about the pens I turn now in a few years.

    Cheers,

    Rick

    Hello Peter, I can see why you fell in love with the Huon Pine, maybe you could get a small "O" ring at a harware and replace the worn one!? Amos
